Each of NBM's editions of the Dungeon series by Lewis Trondheim, Joann Sfar and their various collaborators contains two volumes of the French series. An album is a 48-page book, which is not a format that American readers are used to. It would probably seem skimpy to the average American. So we get these nice thick volumes. On the downside, NBM shrinks the size of the page to about two thirds the original size, so we don't get to see the art in all its glory, and the lettering is quite small.

Hyacinthe, very noble, young and naive, is sent to live w/his uncle the Prince. The prince is bitter, despised greedy and rich, his number two man is so wicked however he makes the prince look like a prince. Hyacinthe puts on a mask and becomes the embodiment of Justice. He falls for a fair maiden who is, of course, a professional assassin and copulating w/the number two man. hijinx ensue.

I've really enjoyed all the Dungeon books I've read so far, but this one is my favorite. Having read Duck Heart and Barbarian Princess first, it was really neat to watch the Keeper in his younger years, sneaking and swashbuckling; and seeing how the Dungeon will eventually come to be. The illustration style is unique but clear, and the characters are a delight. The translation from French sometimes makes the dialogue a little unusual, but personally, I think it adds to the charm.

Someone else please read the Dungeon series so I have someone else to talk to about how great they are. Perhaps the most charming, smart and funny comics I've ever read.

The second of the two stories here might be my favorite Dungeon story so far. The first, a bit less.

There were some things I didn't get, but how can you go wrong with an adorable penguin and a giant tree-woman?
You can't, actually.

This series is awesome. It's not all translated from French yet, but it's worth the wait. Magical, clever and hilarious.
